I find the worst cleaning product of them all is "Wilkinson's Limescale Remover" - that absolutely stings your nose while using it.

As long as you don't get too close to it, the smell from Cillit Bang isn't that bad (yes, even though it has those annoying "My Name's Barry Scott" ads) :p

When cleaning the bathroom, open the window! When cleaning the bathroom, don't mix chemicals and don't use more than you need.

Fart fans are considered a luxury in the UK? Whats up with that? maybe thats where they get the stiff upper lip thing.

WTF?

Fans aren't a luxury, they're just not that common; except for extractor fans in bathrooms (maybe that's what was meant?). We usually only have about 20 days a year that are hot enough to need fans or air conditioning.

don't forget the other handy bathroom cleaning products tidbit: mixing ammonia and bleach effectively creates mustard gas in your bathroom. use said information for good or evil. :ninja:

It makes chlorine gas not the highly toxic mustard gas. Although the two are somewhat related.

hence my use of the word "effectively." it's not going to wipe out your family, but it's definitely strong enough to mess you up. considering it's a mix of two simple household cleaners, it's close enough :p

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
